With Manchester United playing well and beating Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley yesterday in the FA Cup Final it ended Newcastle’s last chance of a place in the Europa League Conference – so no European competition next season for Newcastle.
It’s like going back two years ago before Eddie Howe had his first full season at Newcastle and we made the Carabao Cup Final only to lose 2-0 to Manchester United.
It doesn’t look like the win yesterday will save Erik ten Hag’s career at the Red Devils, and he is still expected to be replaced.
It was hard luck on us but with respect, the Red Devils deserved their win yesterday and had an excellent game plan which seemed to work almost to perfection.
Newcastle’s season was brutal with all the extra games and injuries we picked up and we have to think this season has to be one of consolidation and we must learn from last season’s endeavors.
We played 51 games last season and with a win ratio of 45.1%.
The season before last, we played 46 total games with a win ratio of 52.2% – so we expect around the same number of games this season.
We will have less games this season but our season goals surely have to be to win a local Cup win and to again finish in the top four as we did the season before last.

What do you think?

Comment #1084Carltoon – nope, there’s no reason that anyone genuine wouldn’t be accepted onto Discord. Nobody has been refused entry but we do have the ability to control who enters as that helps us to avoid trolls and bots. We’ve just had 2 new members join (Joe and Pete) so not sure if either of them are the person you’re referring to.
If you log onto Discord with your credentials, you’ll see our server if you’ve already joined it. I do recall you joining under a different name so hopefully that works for you.

Comment #1090The Bard, ha ha I’ve forgiven but not forgotten now, no it wasn’t that time, a,though that was horrible, it was the next time.
You don’t really know how I felt. I’m very easily upset. But who cares. It’s only words, as you once posted
I’ve moved on now anyway. The blogs nearly finished I’ll be sad, but at the same time I hardly post, and it takes ages to catch up, the arguing aand petty tit for tat, what a shame.
I loved the night shift. I’ll miss that.

Comment #1098The Bard is a top sense of humourist and has brought many laughs to the blog, just because he or she supports Hamas, wants to flood the UK with immigrants, wants the next PM to be a gay, black, Trans mackem and loves Tommy Robinson doesn’t make him or her a bad person!!!
